Arsenal
winger Theo Walcott was seen in training recently for the Gunners as he is eyeing
to return to first team action soon.
The
Englishman has been out from regular first team action since January after he
suffered a knee injury in a FA Cup game against Tottenham Hotspurs at Emirates
Stadium.
Walcott
returned from that injury in October and was back to first team but could not
find a lineup before picking up groin injury while on international duty. He made two Premier League appearances against Burnley and Swansea City.
The
25-year-old has suffered 43 injuries, more than any other Arsenal player. While
Abou Diaby is with the second most injuries (40).
Walcott
will take time to set his feet once again on the ground but Arsenal are in desperate
need of him because he can give a real boost for the Gunners.
Walcott
had a surgery on his groin problem and is expected to be back in the coming
days. He might not feature this weekend against Newcastle but is expected to
get few minutes against Liverpool on 21st of December.
Boss
Arsene Wenger told before the Champions League clash with Galatasaray that it
would be too early for him he needs a little more time.
The
former Southampton star is currently spending his 10th season with
the North London side. He has made 283 appearances since his move.
